if someone falls and cannot press the button- does the unit recognize this and call 911?

I do not believe so - it is not a sensor button. It requires the user to press the button.

i am not sure about putting 911 on speed dial but i don't see why not. as i never need to call 911 for emergencies, pressing a couple buttons doesn't seem that bad. also if you mean you want to call 911 when the screen is out, then i am pretty sure you can't do that, even with other kinds of contacts.

The response someone will receive if they are outside of the voice range of the base unit is of the same urgency received if they were within the voice range but unable to speak. Our agent will first attempt to contact them over the speakerphone. If unresponsive, the agent will then initiate the emergency protocol defined by the customer that is kept on file. This typically consists of contacting either paramedics for on-site emergency assistance, or contacting a neighbor or loved one to see if they are available to assist. If the emergency contact is unavailable, we move forward in dispatching paramedics. Please let us know if you have any further questions. We thank you for considering One Call Alert.

Don't think so. My button slipped once and I was able to push it back into place. It has not happened again since.Sam P.

Yes. It also has a feature for police, fire and ambulance service with the push of one button.

Have no positive idea - in all probability, You should again push the button whichactivated the "It's Done" Tone/Alarm originally. Don't actually know - apparently I've never pushed my button - it's quiet!

It is intentionally designed (for safety purposes) only to work when there is finger pressure on the power button. When you release pressure, it stops.

There is a little screw type pin that you pull out in an emergency. You just jerk it & it alarms. You just put the pin in back in the hole & turn it a few times to turn it off. It serves the purpose.

Both of the answers below work. But remember...the emergency number doesn't have to be 911 or a local emergency response phone number. I programmed my mom's phone to ring to ME...telling her, "if you should fall and can't speak, you can press this button three times and dial me...you'll hear ME on speakerphone, and if you don't respond back, I'll call 911 and come to you myself, too." I programmed mostly for the possibility of a stroke, but I didn't explicitly tell her that. If you're worried about accidentally pressing this button, it's not that likely. First, you have to depress, not just touch it. And you have to press 3 times in succession. Good luck! Both of the answers below work.

You speak "Answer" or "Ignore" when the unit gets a call and asks you what to do. You can also press the "phone" button on the unit.

if the person lifts up to turn, it will go off, but normally shuts right off. I have not experienced false alarms. This was very beneficial to us.

that's a good question, and i'd say probably "yes". but if you've already pulled the pin, the alarm will sound at least until the unit is smashed. once it's smashed though, I don't know if it will still sound the alarm. and if it does, I don't know how one would make it stop considering that you couldn't put the pin back in.

If the door is locked they will knock it down to get in. As far as dialing directly to the station you will get a faster response call 911.

Yes, press the MIN buttom to turn on or off. The button is hard to push, so you won't be pushing it accidently.

Mine did that a few times. It seems to have corrected itself. They say not to hold down the button longer than one second unless using it on someone. I chalked mine up to my overuse. No permanent damage though. Good luck

yes it can, I set it up for my dad to do just that. The only problem (I wrote in another review) is the 911 button. If you push it 911 will come, ambulance and fire truck. My dad kept pushing the 911 button and had a lot of activity. Why would they put this button on a device meant for people that can't see well? I took the device apart and removed the button, taped of the hold. No more 911.

The contact presses zero on the phone to hear and speak to caller. If the contact can help, he presses 1 and then 2 before hanging up the phone. This alerts Telemergency not to call remaining numbers. Hope this helps.
